No. It's 12 weeks and you can go home if you want

Each and every one of them when I trained. If you show up and just do what you're told, you'll fly it. There's a lot of more written and academic work nowadays and you'll officially be a part-time student as well as a recruit for the first couple of years. What that means is assignments and college work on top of actual shifts.

My advice, stay on top of it and just do it. Might not always seem relevant or worthwhile but it's just got to be done.

Anyone got there PCT on the 24th of January ?????????

2019candidate

Anyone from the 2019 Campaign hear any more after they passed the PCT? Interviewed in July & apprently that is when they send off your clearence? Its frustraiting not being able to track any progress or plan anything. I heard of someone from the 2018 campaign who is still waiting so its so hard to tell when we may hear back?

Hemmingsway

i just got word back yesterday after waiting months and months after my interview. I now have to attend a GP and Audiologist. GP is covered by IPS and Audiologist has to be paid out of your own pocket. They give you 3 weeks to get all this done and have forms returned. In the email it also states that the clearance part is only taking place now, and to expect to wait several months before hearing word back about the PCT, as the process can take that long.

How long do you get to complete stage 1 I think it's normal within two weeks before the deadline?

Applciants are welcome of course to ask questions in this thread or the previous thread for the 2018 recruitment but as the 2020 recruitment campaign progresses it will be beneficial for it have it's own thread

Are you going for the 2019 or 2020 recruitment?
The 2018 recruitment thread would probably be the best place to ask as more applicants would have completed their training or should have by now. Hopefully someone can give you an accurate answer

Alot of the 2019 recruitment are currently waiting for security clearance and have done stage 4 or they are are completing stage 4 - medical and fitness

Hi there most information is on the website, best of luck to all in the 2020 campaign

Cork and Limerick are at less than 12 months service now for a transfer. I hope you're happy with your decision to leave.

I was waiting for about 2 months from medical to PCT. They'll give you about 4 weeks notice.
